A look at all the terrible quarterbacks Tom Brady has beaten on his way to Super Bowl 51

There will be a lot of stories in the coming weeks about the greatness of Tom Brady and his New England Patriots, and while they’re undoubtedly true, there’s a caveat that we feel obligated to point out. For as good as Brady and the Pats have been this season, he’s also had a pretty easy go of things. The teams he’s played this season weren’t necessarily bad — it was tougher than it was expected to be — but the quality of quarterbacks he’s faced this season is underwhelming to say the lest.

Let’s run through them, in chronological order.

In all, in his 11 regular season and two postseason games this season, Brady has come up against just two quarterbacks with 10 wins (Wilson and Roethlisberger) and is 1-1 against them. Just five of those quarterbacks have winning records on the season. This is not to take away anything from Brady — winning games you’re supposed to is easier said than done — but it certainly has been a fortuitous run.
